At least four people have lost their lives and another two have been injured in a series of drone attacks attributed to the Armed Forces of Ukraine against civilian targets in the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic, territory annexed by Russia, according to the authorities of the area.
One of the incidents was recorded in the locality of Belovodski, where a drone struck a bus that was transporting employees of an industrial plant at the end of their shift. The attack caused the death of a man and left two women injured, according to a statement from the regional provincial leader, Leonid Pasechnik, who has expressed his condolences to the relatives of the victims and has wished the injured a speedy recovery.
In another point in the region, a private vehicle was hit by another drone on a county road, causing the death of a man and a woman. A similar attack against a civilian car caused the death of a man in the locality of Razdolnoie, in the district of Starobelsk.
The regional leader has also denounced impacts against vehicles and municipal and civilian infrastructure in different places in Lugansk, and has specified that the Investigative Committee of Russia in the region is gathering evidence related to these attacks.
On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense has reported the "interception and destruction" of 235 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones during the night in different areas of the country, including Moscow.
